From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Perhaps you've not read my earlier comment. We all concur that Wiki is not the correct forum for "blatant" advertising. Wiki does permit and promote the free exchange of relevant, accurate, and timely information - without regard to the linkage (.com, .net, ....). Your editorial license stops when the content and the linkages have been determined to be relevant, accurate, and reasonably appropriate.

I'm providing timely, relevant, accurate, and timely information that finds its source in two universally recognized authorities. The fact that this information appears on a commercial website should not get your "shorts in a wad".

Please stay on task and focused! As a self-appointed Wiki editor you should be governing relevant, accurate, and timely information and avoiding "blantant" advertising.

I welcome your reply


It is NOT OK to use Wikipedia as an advertising forum. If you continue spamming links to your sites, you can be blocked from editing Wikipedia. Zora 19:07, 3 October 2005 (UTC)

Please stop. If you continue to use Wikipedia for advertising, you will be blocked from editing. -- GraemeL (talk) 21:09, 12 October 2005 (UTC)

Your links are inappropriate, and blaming other people for complaining about it isn't going to help your case. As mentioned above, cut it out. --fvw* 21:29, 12 October 2005 (UTC)

This is your last warning. The next time you insert a spam link, you will be blocked from editing Wikipedia. --GraemeL (talk) 22:11, 12 October 2005 (UTC)

Please see Wikipedia:What Wikipedia is not - self-promotion and advertising are not allowed here. Adding a link to one's own website in an article (never mind 5+ links in multiple articles) is advertising. You've been temporarily blocked from editing Wikipedia for repeatedly spamming articles.

You don't even own the copyright to these "articles" you're trying to link! You copied "Kids Shoes- A Closer Look" from The Society of Chiropodists and Podiatrists, for example. Rhobite 15:37, 13 October 2005 (UTC)
